Abstract Painting

During our exploration of line and shape, students learned about abstract art by looking at paintings by artists like Vasily Kandinsky and Franz Kline. We noticed that abstract art does not try to represent real life, but focuses on shapes, lines and colors, and can be interpreted in different ways. Students created their own abstract artwork, starting with black shapes and lines and then adding the primary colors (red, blue, and yellow) with paint.
